>> we are seeing the real impact of persistent low and negative , and we arees benefiting, so my view is this is one of the big reasons why we have such anger in the world, ourted to brexit, in political process, because from my perspective, as you said, equity markets are up. i am sure the real estate market is doing better with the persistence of lower rates. people with r enjoying this environment and people who are to helping every day them build a nest egg for retirement or a nest egg to buy in the -- to build enough to buy a house or a nest egg for their children'future, they are being harmed. we see a real division. >> surely the fed sees what you see and understand what you
12:07 pm
understand. >> i do not think they truly understand this. i actually believe these are incredibly smart, articulate who are trying to re-stimulate the economy. the only bold characters in the whole economics game. seen politicians reengage an extraordinary fiscal measures to get this going again. you do not believe janet yellen, the federal market committee, and federal anchors in europe and japan, do not understand? >> i will not identify one banker or another but generically, i do not think they calculate the cost, the whole global cost of interest rates and what the impact is. >> their congressional mandate does not tell them to. >> but so my view is, i
12:08 pm

12:15 pm
i want to take a deep dive into the bloomberg using this function. man i like to do the slot. there is so much good information. you go to special reports at the there is a can see great story and a great presentation put together by williams called the great cost migration. it talks about how investors are moving funds. story. fascinating even funds that are outperforming the market, they chose the fidelity fund crushing its benchmark index. they chose the vanguard fund beating the etf that invests in the same strategies. even those funds are seeing big outflows because of the cost. scarlet: and you're seeing that across asset classes. funds, 0.7% from 0.9% in 2010.
12:16 pm
that has been the case, a trend line going down. it does not matter if it is at the funds, bond funds, it has all been coming down. the question is is that still enough? those are still higher than the 0.25% average or the 0.1% fee of an index fund. was surprised even back in the 1990's, only 100 basis points for a mutual fund but 10 basis points for an etf, that is a no-brainer. hedge funds have been coming down. big funds like the new jersey pension fund have been saying we will pull out of these because they are too expensive. two and 20 is what we all know. 2% management fee, 20% incentive fee, that was standard for the industry 4, 5, 6 years ago.
12:17 pm
to 17.5ave come down and 1.5%ncentive fee management fee. hedge funds are getting sort of put in line by the big investors. scarlet: and it does not exist in the same way anymore. a lot of people have shares as well which reduce the cost to investors. when you look at performance, that is a different story, explaining in part why people demand and request lower fees. all this great research and with a fantastic presentation. coming up, we'll talk to the seedseed -- the ceo of ups. he is in favor of ttp. this is bloomberg. ♪

matt:matt: the time is now to pass the transpacific partnership according to the ceo of cbs -- david gora is here now with the interview. let me start by asking you what this means for ups. what is on the line here for your company if ttp passes? >> you have to remember we do not manufacture anything but we ship our customers goods. when we look at trade agreements, ttp in particular, we are looking through the eyes of our customers, who are telling us that they need to be able to hit these markets that are covered in ttp and it is very important to them that they they need somes, of the complexity taken out of international trading rules.
12:21 pm
that is why we are supporting ttp. david: you have got a hub in china, which is pursuing his own trade deal. you have a good vantage point to watch all of that play out. how integral is the fact that china is work in on the other side on a deal of its own? >> that is true that they are negotiating at this point. is a good it opportunity for american businesses and american workers. u.s. is involved in setting the trade rules for that part of the region, we just believe that things that are important to us like labor coverages, like environmental issues and they would -- intellectual property, those are things we think the world is just suited if the u.s. takes leadership in the ttp. you are lobbying at capitol hill. what percentages on the ttp and
12:22 pm
how do you think they might vote on this? >> i could not tell you what percent of our lobbying it is, i could tell you we see a varied amount of interest. a lot of people in washington understand the value of trade. they just need to be convinced that this trade deal is the best deal we could place in front of them. that it is. we just keep talking about the benefits to our customers and especially for us. we have access to thousands of small businesses. those are the people whose voices get overlooked. those are the companies that really take advantage of the trading scheme. david: let me ask you about the way you are speaking out. those who oppose this say it will benefit big corporations and here you are at the head of a corporation. do you worry you are giving that
12:23 pm
to them? thinkhave to do what we is right, for our company, our customers, and our country. we believe this is about embracing the future, about the able to reach these emerging markets, that the economies are continuing to grow, that this is actually a job creator and not the job killer that some people portray this to be. david: your career, you started out as a college student working at night loading trucks. would a younger david have understood the implications of the deal? when i was 18 years old, i absolutely would not have. thatis one of the reasons not only are we having discussions with our customers the advantagesm
12:24 pm
of this, but we are also talking and letting them understand the importance of it. a key fact for us as a company is every 22 packages that we process across the border of the united states, creates another job for ups. so we and our employees can relate practice -- packages to jobs and that is the point we are making. david: are you at all surprised by how politicized this has become surrounding the trade deal? >> i am surprised a little bit with how vocal the opposition has in. it is up to us, those of us who really understand the trade deal, and understand that 95% of consumers, like the united the key to american businesses and american workers to be successful is to find ways to serve those markets.
12:25 pm
i think it is up to those of us to believe in free trade make sure we get our message across and that is what i'm doing. bit, weivoting here a have at statement from the commission a few days ago and the secretary of the treasury said it could be a turning point in the conversation for corporate tax reform in the u.s. what it means for ups, if you think we are at a turning point here. >> as far as what it means for ups, i do not know it has a direct impact on us, but what i can tell you is we absolutely support comprehensive tax reform in the u.s. forre looking for stability a permanent rate, a competitive rate which we think is about 25% and we are looking for a competitive and territorial tax
12:26 pm
scheme to where companies can bring back profits from overseas. .e believe this is a big issue we understand to get that kind of competitive rate, we would need to have a broader corporate tax base. we are in support of that. a fundamental aspect of working with the u.s. government that we need to change. david: all right. thank you very much. scarlet: still ahead, german lawmakers expressing concern, taking notice of the stock losing over half its italian this year. what are they going to do about it? this is bloomberg. ♪

120 countries. this is bloomberg. want to get back now to a story we broke for you earlier this hour. -- joining us now, in berlin, how significant is this, the junior member of the , and we all know deutsche bank is having serious problems. >> what i think has triggered this is $14 billion fine that the justice department is to mandate. that has focused minds here in berlin and the social democrats are the junior partner, very wary of commenting on the entire saga and the bank's woes.
12:33 pm
it shows that the matter is now seeping into the political corridors of berlin if you will. and they cannot avoid the topic anymore. feeling thate any in berlin, regulators have gone too far? it is a whopping fine considering the role deutsche bank played compared to other banks that played bigger roles and did not pay such big fines. think there is an expectation among german regulators from what has been reported that the fine will be lowered. in other words, that there will be a settlement. the german finance ministry, which, generally, as you said, has been reluctant to comment on this. the other day, they said we do expect the u.s. to give deutsche bank a fair shake, in other words, a fair outcome that lowers the fine significantly.
12:34 pm
yes, there is that expectation. there is a concern in berlin, a led to a verythat general sort of discussion of the matter. , the concernout for the long-term solvency of almost a national treasure although it is a publicly traded country, is there concern that deutsche bank could actually fall apart? >> i guess that concern is always out there. , and the german government, when you talk to people privately, they are obviously aware of that. it is germany's biggest bank and it is in trouble, so yes, that is obviously an option that is out there. on the other hand, it is not in theublic he discussed
12:35 pm
least. and again, this discussion that ,e got wind of was very much that it came up in the meeting, when other things were under discussion and it was this kind socialnt where democratic lawmakers said, then there is this too. matt: i am trying to get my head around exactly what the general feeling is, not just in the meeting, but you know u.s. regulators, between deutsche leviedd volkswagen, have $30 billion of fines on german companies, at least until some of them negotiated down. of backlash ornd a detriment to the relationship because of that? >> that is not happening, not at the government level. ,here has been some chatter
12:36 pm
media chatter, about, they seem to be, is this, you know, whatever, is it retribution for the eu's fine on apple, or the eu's tax bill being presented to .pple of course, i do not know how that could be substantiated at this point. thatnk it is fair to say the chancellor has no intention of picking a fight with the u.s. over this. to get your thoughts on this. we really appreciate your time tonight. tony coming to us from berlin. we noted, deutsche bank shares are higher in u.s. otherg along with most u.s. risky assets. this is the global macro mover and you can see it is a quick way to check out the moves across these, currencies, bonds, and commodities. for bonds, hotter prices and lower yields. the only red we really see here

12:38 pm

driving car, what is the link? a couple oforted months ago, apple has two pads they can forge ahead on it one is building their own car start theinish in partnering with manufacturer. we had the holding big story on the manufacturer called magna, but there is another route they could take. they could build their own self driving platform and market and carmakers.o other i think that is where mclaren comes into play. with the strategic investment, apple would have it in its back pocket. down the road, if they choose to go the route where they build a platform rather than a whole card system, they could sell it, they would already be partners, it would get all of the exposure it gets as one of the preeminent carmakers for customers around -- across the world, they would immediately get into the race car world will formula one, great marketing for them, so
12:42 pm
from investment and apple building their own car system it seemsan entire car, like a safe pick for apple. matt: i do not think enough people in the u.s. understand how big formula one is. more than half of people watch. it is incredibly strong. also that mclaren has a cutting edge innovative design. you guys quote him yesterday, the automotive unit, i can confirm it is not a discussion for apple with any potential investments. did he not know? >> over 50%, it is very possible
12:43 pm
apple is dealing with them correctly. it would be correct for michael to say that his group is not in talks with apple. it could be they are investors instead. matt: it is exciting nonetheless. head to bloomberg.com to check out mark'stories. scarlet: coming up, we will have an interview with the lincoln ceo and emily chang will speak with him on the day of the fall product launch. you can catch the conversation a 1:00 p.m. eastern time. this is bloomberg. ♪

1:14 pm
in terms of chronological order. some of the areas that make absolute sense come integrating linkedin identity assets within outlook, for example. when someone send you an e-mail, you know who they are. you see if the job changed, the boxpany -- it brings the ins b x to life. more deeplye to integrate our learning assets into windows come into office and the dynamics with regard to continuing to differentiate the business applications that are generating real momentum through leveraging sales navigator, things we can do with recruiter in terms of human capital management. emily: i understand yet it is for linkedin to remain largely independent. how do you expect this to work in practice and how will it impact the culture of linkedin

that you worked hard to build? from day one, they said it's important that we continue to focus on growing linkedin. both teams are completely a line that objective. that makes it a lot easier. it's made easier by the fact that -- that's where m&a goes off the rails. disparate cultures. the underlying cultures are already naturally allied in terms of being mission driven. has been very mission and purpose driven since he has taken on the role of the ceo. terms of being innovative come in terms of trying to create a sense of openness. we are seeing a lot of alliance. mintingow do you your independence and stay focused on the synergistic goal? jeff: we thought about how to

were thinking about staying private previously have very specific reasons to stay private. i don't know that consolidation played a role in that. -- thishe pros and cons debate goes on cyclically over many years. in terms of the increasing consolidation, we will continue to see that trend. it's less about public-private and more about how the competitive landscape continues to evolve. the importance of scale over time. emily: where do you see more consolidation? you are the first big social network to go for m&a. there was a lot of speculation about twitter. jeff: i would be looking more from the acquirer front than the companies being acquired. you have a lot of activity taking place. business applications will increasingly be used to differentiate these huge offerings.

1:20 pm
but we think we can jumpstart that. microsoft's global footprint could have meaningful impact on the way we think about global. emily: you have a new learning product building off one of your biggest acquisitions -- how do you expect the education and learning part of the business to be relative to the whole? jeff: it can be a meaningful contributor to the top and bottom line. there is the enterprise part of that business where we are leveraging our multi-partner and customers where we can sell into those businesses beyond the recruiting tools we've been telling historically. on the consumer side, we are able to seamlessly integrate linkedin learning into our premiums and packages without charging an additional fee. that can help her attention. -- retention. there's a lot of

excitement around bots. they take a while to hit the mainstream. when do you see them going mainstream and how do you maintain the quality of the interaction? you maintain quality by being focused. not doing bots for the sake of doing bots. in the valley, there seem to be these new introductions of new technologies and people get really excited and they become very buzz word oriented and you have to get past that and think about how the new technology is creating value for people. the example we should today's how-to members connecting on linkedin through messaging can schedule a meeting. something people want to do through linkedin. you have to go in and out of multiple applications and this really accelerates that process, makes it much more seamless and intuitive that is something that will create quality. you have to focus on getting that right before you move on to the next one.
